Transfer thread Summer 2015

If such an event has happened, its annoying the media have got hold of it. Bournemouth know we've an unhappy player on our hands and don't need to overpay.

Can they offer us a £100m add-on if they stay up at our expense?

 

Maybe it was the player or agent that leaked it to force the move?

 

That wouldn't surprise me.
Don't really want to see Hooper leave, but his omission tonight suggests something is afoot!!

 

I was kinda wondering if we were offering Hooper as part of a deal for Afobe, but if Grabban have gone awol then maybe that won't happen now.

 

I'm going to wait and see.

Smells a little bit of bull **** media hype to me.

 

Also, for Grabban it would represent a breach of contract so would be putting his pay at risk. Can't see it.

 

I was wondering that!!!

 

Yeah that's true, but it's making this evening more interesting. I have a feeling there's some truth in this, but still won't fully believe anything until official reports.

 

Yes, the constitution of the club and the players agreement to play when asked and give his all would be broken.

 

A couple of weeks pay docked, then he gets his move and probably a pay rise. I can see the logic.

What surprises me is the level of detail in the reports. It's not just "we've heard rumours Grabban is AWOL", its a full story. Smells of a leak or of ****.

 

James Nursey is usually pretty well informed isn't he? Doesn't matter anyway, we don't need Grabban - we've got our goal machine up and running at last!!

 

I can't see that much detail being bullshit. You couldn't make that up!

It is such poor form from Grabban

 

Can we read anything into Afobe staying on the bench tonight? Probably not

 

As he was in Corals on Colman Road at 3 o'clock he couldn't have been in the squad.

 

busted! Hopefully not on the footy...

The papers this morning said he'd be included.

 

Given that the Daily Mail article gives details of what was going to be said in a 3:45 phone call that Alex Neil didn't take, the information can only have come from Grabban/his agent.

 

No different from his form on the pitch
He can get lost good bye lets get a decent player in

 

Kenny Jackett: "Benik is a Wolves player, and once the transfer window has closed, he will still be a Wolves player."

He's also confirmed that they've rejected a new bid from us.

 

AN on Lewis Grabban: "We deal with this sort of thing behind closed doors. The bids received for him are well below our asking price."

Not sure what to read from that.

 

I'd imagine straight from the player himself / agent. While it's pretty poor form on Grabbans part, part of me can't blame him for wanting out - never going to be loved the way he was down there, and at the moment he seems to be replacing Whittaker in terms of fans on his back. Will it work out for him going back, probably not... Take the money and move on, but didn't need to be a dick about it
